“Oh Balogun is just playing for the U.S. because he couldn’t make the England squad”…Folks, that is the entire promise of our nation. Give me your tired, your poor, your huddled masses yearning to breathe free. And then we’ll beat your ass with them.

This couldn’t be further from the truth, world class is top 3 in your position: Harry Kane is a top 3 CF Declan Rice is a top 3 CM Jude Bellingham is a top 3 #10 Reece James is a top 3 RB Bukayo Saka is a top 3 RW At the very least, there’s 5 world class players with players like Marcus Rashford, Elliot Anderson and Nico O’Reilly all on the fringes.

This town is stupid

They aren’t even hiding what these hydration breaks are about. It’s 75 degrees under a roof at SoFi, the announcer says “that’s the end of the first quarter,” and then it’s straight to commercials. The game is gone.

Official attendance figures reflect the number of tickets scanned and spectators present within the stadium footprint, rather than visual assessments of seating occupancy at any given moment during the match. FIFA works closely with stadium authorities and ticketing teams to ensure all published figures are based on verified operational data. Please note that, during last night’s match in Guadalajara, several ticketed fans could be seen standing in concourses rather than staying in their assigned seats throughout the match.

All of these “Europeans experiencing America for the first time” stories have a common theme: Every single one of them is a European experiencing for the first time how absurdly wealthy the United States is compared to really anywhere else in the world. It underpins them all

Did ITV's Jon Champion just make a disparaging statement about the Mexican president, Claudia Sheinbaum, in his commentary?

DEEPLY frustrating that the 2026 World Cup Final won't be at the Azteca. Look at it. It's a football cathedral.

Infantino was asked by a BBC journalist if he's embarrassed by what has come to pass and does he accept he's lost control of his tournament here. His response: “in 2035, the Women’s World Cup, I think, will be in the UK. Would you find it normal that FIFA will dictate to the British government who to let in the country and who not to let in?” #FIFAWorldCup

The ITV World Cup set is incredible, stunning view of the Manhattan skyline. Puts the BBC to shame. Cost-saving arguments are understandable, but the World Cup is the pinnacle of football - the location of the primary public service broadcaster should showcase that.

Infantino currently arguing that World Cup average price of $500 for all games (even group games) is fair enough because Knicks play offs games are expensive. Oooook

does anyone have an explanation for why concert tickets were $35 fifteen years ago and now they're $350
